Here there be rants. There will be Freeman stuff, Lawful Rebellion stuff and Random stuff. I am rebelling because I want my country back. My lawful obligations are as follows: “together with the community of the whole realm, distrain and distress us in all possible ways, namely, by seizing our castles, lands, possessions, and in any other way they can, until redress has been obtained as they see fit…”
Article 61 Magna Carta 1215

Death Of The Euro?

If there is a God, then yes, a death is on the cards. It is long overdue. An obscene amount of our sweat equity has been pumped into this nightmare and it has to stop.

If that God has any empathy, the death of the EU will swiftly follow. If we bury them both together we can save on the funeral costs.

In my company office in Aberdeen there are about 20 people. We do not all get along. Some are Scots, some are English, some are Swedes, some are Norwegian and we have one Dane. Globally, we have around 260 people. I won't bother listing all the nationalities but I can tell you that we do not all get along. When you lump together people of different cultures, it is obvious that clashes will happen. One region (the US) gets only 14 days vacation a year (plus the public holidays) whilst I get 25 days (plus public holidays). The Scandinavians get 30 days (plus public holidays) whilst those in Singapore get a lot less.

Just this one difference causes no end of arguments. Pay rates are different in all regions. Working hours are different, to suit the various cultures: prayer times, and siestas, for example.

That is one business. That is 260 people who struggle to agree. How could anyone ever imagine that 500 million people could be forced to get along? It was an exercise in stupidity from day one. As the wheels come off this ridiculous experiment, I am cheering. I have wished its death from the moment I realised it was not about unity, it was all about the usual suspects: power, greed and corruption. And didn't they do well? All those non-entities that couldn't get elected to anything, anywhere, ever, suddenly found themselves at the top of the totem pole, issuing edicts left, right & centre.

The difference between my company and the EU?

I can leave my company any time I like.

Billions of words have been written about this abomination, by much better writers than I could ever hope to be.

It has been rumoured for about two years now, from "sources in the Bundesbank", that for about three years, Deutschmarks in the billions, have been NEWLY printed, and every few months a collector is reported in the media, having found brand new DM coins with dates such as 2009 and 2010 "in his change".

These are widly reported in the bloggs here, and also in news sites by publishers such as Kopp Verlag.

As you will apprieciate, not all Bundesbank workers are boy scouts, being perpetually "prepared", so it is obvious they know something we do not.

The only course of action for the people of europe is.....Revolution, whatever form or direction that takes. The "ruling" elitists will never relinquish their grip on power as a result of Lawful Rebellion or or similar peaceful means and they will need to be forcibly removed. The sooner we all wake up to that reality, daunting and unpleasant as it may be, the sooner we will liberate ourselves from this evil madness. reiverdave

In other parts of the world populations are fighting to overthrow governments who have denied them democracy. Meanwhile the EU is striving to stamp it out.It will all end in tears, hopefully very soon.

They should ask us how to do it. When the British Empire had to shut up the shop just after the war, it managed to leave any number of economies in a strong and functioning position. Even Pakistan - about which there was great concern - has not yet descended in to civil war.

Yes, there will be problems as the EU collapses, but it is better to do it in an organized fashion rather than risking it going out with a bang by obstinately holding on.
